Setting up the SR15 Receiver Unit on an Ethernet (LAN) port
In order to read the data from a gear monitoring sensor, you must first connect one or more receivers to the computer. The Receiver Unit must be connected to the computer using an Ethernet line.
Prerequisites
In order to connect a gear sensor to the TV80 system, the following requirements must be met.
•  The TV80 software is installed on the Processor Unit.
•  The relevant license string for the software is installed and activated.
•  The Receiver Unit must be connected to the computer using an Ethernet line.
Context
The SR15 has one hydrophone input plug. Depending on your fishing requirements, you may need to install more than one hydrophone to receive the information from the gear sensors. With a single channel receiver, you must manually switch between the hydrophones to check which hydrophone that provides the best communication.
When a PX sensor is connected to a SR type receiver unit you can get the maximum number of measurements the sensor can have.
Procedure
1 Open the Setup menu.
2 On the Setup menu, select Installation.
Observe that the Installation dialog box opens.
3 Observe the I/O Setup page on the right side of the Installation dialog box.
4 Select Add LAN Port to open the Select Input (LAN) dialog box.
5 Select the SR15 Receiver Unit.
The SR Connectivity dialog box opens.
6 Select the relevant receiver icon on the SR Connectivity dialog box.
Result
Every new interface is presented as a small "block diagram" on the I/O Setup page. The I/O Setup page also presents a number of "inspection points". These are small circular icons with an "i".
Inspection points provide important information about the connection. By selecting an inspection point you can retrieve relevant information about the connection. The colour of an inspection point helps you to identify the quality of the information that is received.
•  When an inspection point is green, the information is properly received.
•  When an inspection point is red, it means that a specific datagram is not recognized. This is not a critical error since many systems have proprietary NMEA datagram sentences that are not used, and therefore do not need decoding.
